Today I'm going to be helping you get your business ready for 2023. As you know by now, I'm a big fan of planning. And I'm going to be sharing with you my top tips for how to get ready for 2023 in your business.

Why is it important to get ready for your business in 2023? Before 2023 starts? Well, in my opinion, having a plan before you get to the moment that you've got to execute the plan is quite a logical and savvy thing to do if you want to be one step ahead of your competitors.

I have four tips for you

1. Reflection. The first thing you need to do is take time out of your business to reflect. Think about your proudest achievements. Think about your highs, think about your lows.


2. Focus on your word for 2023. Every year I come up with a word that I want my year to represent. I want you to think about 2023 for you and your business and what word you could use to absolutely encompass what you want that year to be.

3. Have an overall plan. You might be bored of me talking about this by now, but I love planning, I love strategy in business. As a small business, we don't always prioritise planning but if you do, you will be standing yourself ahead of your competition. Have a one or two page plan for your year 2023.

4. Take it one quarter at a time. I break my year up into four quarters, quarter one, January, February, March, quarter, two April, May, June, quarter, three July, August, September and called four October, November, December. Doing it like this just makes the year feel so much more manageable. And you can set yourself mini goals for each quarter.

The Question of The Podcast - 'What is your word for 2023 in your business?'

I really want to hear such a variety of words. And I really want to know what your headspace is like and where you're going in 2023. Please just share with me what word comes to you when I talked about that word for the year.
